2 year pictures!

May

Yup, i did it again, i'm very far behind on my blogging!

Lexi Jamie Winn has lived to see 2 years (although

if you ask she'll say "i be two months old").. there were

days i just didn't see that happening :) "i just kiddin" -

(one of her favorite sayings now). She is still a

gigantic tomboy, loves buzz, woody, cars, dirt, bugs...

anything boy! however finally figured out what a princess

is, and is slowly becoming fonder of them. She is still

a social butterfly, she loves playing with her cousins & friends

more than anything. She partied hard for her birthday,

She had a fun ladybug party with the winn side and

got to share a carnival party with ayla and cole for the

petersen side! She loved both and got overly spoiled!

after partying oh so hard...

She loved her new slip n slide

*when grandpa got her to go on it,

after my failed attempt (in my clothes!)

And grandma knows her "sweet little girl" would

love a buzz and woody table! boy was she right!

nicole and ray really pulled through with providing

an awesome bounce house to celebrate in style!

lexi loved her "party house" and we had it up for three days straight!

(i was slightly excited to see it go since that meant i was in

it for three days straight too!)

And nicole made another awesome cake!!

i hate cutting them up every single time!

Lexi and Mads sure love each other,

Halli is keeping safe distance but is equally loved :)

We filled lexi's room with balloons on "birthday eve!"

If you want to see an elated 2 year old just spend 2 hours

blowing up balloons and you'll have it made!!

Day in & Day out lexi does the cutest simple things

that make me stop hurrying around, and think..

"i really must be the luckiest mommy!"

she loves licking her bowl clean!!

Jackson loves lexi's princess stroller! such a stud!!

And nicole helped me make this awesome buzz and woody

cake too!! (okay nicole did most of it, but still at least

i participated this time!) And ashley put me to

shame making the cutest minnie mouse cake on her own!

april

i was so excited to see that tradition from last year

continues, a boat ride canget lexi to sleep EVERYTIME!

turned out a little chillier than it was at the time

we began planning our adventure. but it was still fun

lexi loved helping me blow out my candles


what would we do without sister's like nicole to
make fabulous cakes like these! i LOVED it, how creative
is she!? i know, you're all jealous right now. i didn't
even want to cut it up to eat it!


Andy was our photographer for the day down in lehi...
i have a lot of pictures of legs... and backs of heads...enjoy :)

I'm pretty sure that lex and madi are doing the "L" for

loser... they learned early about that :)

grandpa with his girls, they all love him so much!

he got smothered for his birthday (just like every other day they see him!)

And nicole ...being nicole! gotta love her, she keeps

things exciting! Surprise surprise, after swimming

with the dead bodies she got the flu within 48 hours!

Easter

Lexi was at such a fun age for easter this year. She

started to understand the point of picking up eggs, and

even better that when you throw them at the floor they

explode and candy will go everywhere! Best of

all she got to spend lots of time with family, and

nothing makes this little bug happier than her "buddies"

as she likes to call them (who wouldn't wanna be her "buddy"!?)

She loved the barkers little chicks, enough that

she convinced her dad to get her some a couple weeks later!

now we just gotta work on the dog :) we can do it!

(i can do anything, remember i am updating months of pictures)

My little sweetheart can manage to really

tick off andy, even without trying. She found the

"golden egg" within about 30 seconds of looking.

And didn't quite understand what it was

she found or why there wasn't candy in it. however

the older kids definately understood...

And out of her basket stuffed full of fun toys

and treats that i had been gathering for months,

all she wanted were those stinking orange tic-tacs

(a.k.a. bumpa treats! she tries to convince me to

buy her some everytime we are in the store, and

after i convince her she doesn't need them, she very

tactfully reminds me that "bumpa would really need

some for his pockets!" ... always looking out for others, this one!)

catching up

Okay, I have been a slacker!! its been at least a couple months since i've shared the happenings of my bug's life with everyone on here, and the further behind i get, the less i want to do it. Knowing that i have that much more i would have to catch up on. I would much rather spend my time enjoying my moments with her, than trying to type about it & missing them (after all they're coming and going way too fast.. SHE'S ALREADY TWO!!!) blah. here we go, i can do it, i know i can... it just might take a few days.

Buggy loves wearing her daddy's hats now a days.

well any hat will do, but she has a special love for

her dads. And is aspiring to be a truck

driver when she grows up. Hopefully by then she

can get a bigger truck to ride, this one caused

way too much frustration.
